Clinical review: Psilocybin therapy could be significantly better than current psychiatric
treatments

PsyPostby Eric W. Dolan5/13/2017

Having a guided psychedelic experience may be a powerful treatment for depression,
anxiety, and addiction. A new review of clinical trials suggests that psilocybin-assisted
therapy has the potential to help alleviate a variety of psychiatric disorders.

Psilocybin is the primary mind-altering substance in psychedelic “magic” mushrooms.
The drug can profoundly alter the way a person experiences the world. It produces
changes in mood, sensory perception, time perception, and sense of self.
